Holidays inMajorca

Brilliant beaches and so much more

By far the biggest and most popular of the Balearic Isles, Majorca is one of the top holiday destinations in Spain. With hundreds of kilometres of gorgeous coastline and more than 200 beaches, it’s easy to see why. From vast sweeping bays and romantic secluded coves, to family-friendly stretches of gorgeously soft sand, Majorca holidays offer almost every kind of beach break you can imagine.

While some parts of the island are lively party spots, others are more mellow and ideal for couples and families looking for a quieter holiday in the sun.
Tempting as it would be to spend every day barefoot on the beaches, it’s not just traditional bucket-and-spade tourism that makes people choose holidays to Majorca. Just as much of a draw are authentic island experiences. The capital, Palma, has become a popular destination for city breaks, with a historic old town and a wealth of world-class restaurants.

The dramatic Serra de Tramuntana mountain range is a hotspot for adventurous outdoor activities, from rock climbing to forest hiking. Majorca’s also very popular with cyclists.
From its pine-clad mountains to its vineyard-covered central plains and its gorgeous coastline, Majorca’s landscape is as diverse as it is beautiful. If you want a beach holiday with that extra something special, you won’t have to look far to find it in Majorca.

Three tips for a top trip

Hit the roadThe best way to get around Majorca is by car, but if you don’t fancy driving, the public bus and train network is very good.

Head up highIn the summer months, you can join a rooftop tour of Palma’s Gothic cathedral where you can swoon at its impressive terraces and bell tower.

Take a boat tripArrive at one of the island’s loveliest beaches, Formentor, by hopping on a boat from Puerto Pollensa. The views of the coastline along the way are sensational.
